[Rhodes22-list] Jib sheet connection

[Melvyn Rothbard]

Rob:
I think that a piece of metal hardware hanging off the Jib can add weight and also can be somewhat dangerous if it starts flapping around.  I am not sure that the extra weight would also effect the spinnaker adversely.  The other issue is that if you have to transfer back to the jib quickly, it will take an extra step to get the jib sheets reattached once the spinnaker is cleared.  Are you going to be around the weekend of June 4th?  Maybe we can get together with Jay.

Does anyone use a shackle or some other way to connect jib/genoa sheets to
the sail for a fast release? I would like to try and use my jib sheet on an
asymmetrical spinnaker if possible and prudent. I would simply roll up the
jib, unattach the sheets and then reattach them to the spinnaker. Does
anyone currently have a system they would recommend? ( or perhaps there are
reasons not to do this; i.e. a shackle will snag a shroud) - What are your
thoughts?
